Hm... I'm not sure I'ld agree with that. I'ld rather have some
downtime, and my data available, then have less downtime, but find that
I'm missing valuable data that was committed, but happend to not be
replicated because no slave was available "yet".
Sync rep is about "data availability", "data recoverability", *and*
"downtime". The three are definitely related, but each use has their
own tradeoffs.
